New Manager

^Agreed. But really, innovative ideas need to be introduced. Bringing back old things won't make things much better in my opinion.

Agreed, it's just that Pizza Team was a good example of the style of community gaming I was referring too.

Management should be seperate from LAT. You don't have a project manager in any corporation or business focusing only on programming- they delegate responsibility and meet actual deadlines.

Results drive success rather than the way you get there. We need to focus on bringing GOALS rather than BEHAVIORS. Someone scripting stuff and making a lot of levels is great, but thats just part of the way to get there, it doesnt bring the culminating end result.

I would bring as manager IDP and IPA's (Individual Development Plans and Individual Performance Assessments) to the staff that focus on quality results. This is the way to get things done. These reviews would be public access. I also recognize that these are volunteer positions and I will insure incentive will be there to produce for the community with valid recognition for efforts that bring positive results.

Listen, I know some of you may not like me due to my character in game- but if any of you have any experience with corporate business you understand that there is a strong difference between developing a professional rapport with someone rather than a personal one.


Like I've been saying- I can drive results on this server. You basically have two choices right now. You can choose a manager who is going to be scripting and making levels the entire time, neglecting 'management' duties, or you can choose someone with actual management EXPERIENCE and CAPABILITY such as myself. I've shown you I have an actual plan to manage and retain staff and I can bring players (new and old) to the server. Thanks for reading.

I think it's funny that anyone is even acting as if the position for manager is available. Pointing out why you think you'd be appropriate isn't going to make the PWA team any more likely to remove Storm. You're doing nothing but boasting.

I don't see what this has to do with PWA team as this is Classic not a playerworld server

Who else is going to remove Storm? If you honestly think he'd leave on his own, I think you need to try talking to him yourself.

The PWA were given some level of power over Classic not too long ago, though it mostly started with just Bell being the one with any sway.

Yeah, this guy would definitely be a great candidate for Manager.

This thread was dedicated to the current manager's inability to get things moving foward, and also to discuss potential new replacements for Storm hence NEW MANAGER. Nobody said Storm was being removed, but we all assume his time is near end.

Last time I recall, it shouldn't be who the PWA wants as manager in all honesty. That's like saying the people can't vote for president. I'm quite surprised Storm isn't removed yet since we as players don't want him to manage Classic anymore. Manager isn't a popularity contest, but when everyone doesn't want you to be manager because you simply do a poor job, then you probably should quit. We as the players payed for this game, and we as the players should have a better majority in saying who we don't want as our manager. Storm hasn't gotten that yet though.

I think Rak is right on the ballpark with what Classic needs, and how the manager should get it done. There


@Gladius: Your pessimistic attitude is seriously aggravating to read at the slightest. Develop your own point of view or something. Also, stop using 100 rhetorical questions in your posts that you answer yourself.

No, it isn't. Classic is a server owned by a corporation; it is not a democratic nation.

Though the forum population is most probably an inaccurate gauge to sample the actual server population, the support for DC to take up the Manager position on Classic is obvious. If that's what the people want and he has the potential as well as the skills to improve the state of the server, then why not let him take the helm?

Even though I no longer access the server, word through the grapevine is that he listens to player demands and acts accordingly in that regard. That should be qualification enough, especially seeing how the server degraded drastically over the years under the "current" Manager.

My two cents as an observer is that eventually people that still hold faith to the server have to realize that the server in and of itself, regardless of the current content, is the great potential resource that needs to be utilized. If the slate needs to be cleaned, why not? It's far too late into failure to try to bring old things back. As mentioned, new things need to be introduced (or at least old ideas reintroduced as new ones) and innovation needs to be encouraged and brought to life.

Time may change us, but we can't change time.

Post related.

Rak makes a good case, but ranger has a point. The manager position is currently filled, and last time I checked we don't hold elections every four years.

Do we need a new manager? Possibly. Are we going to get one in the near future? Not likely, unless someone with major authority decides to make a move.

[BlackSolider]

Look dude. I'm posting about both sides because both sides have something to say. Each side has some good points; each side has some bad points. Why not analyze both?

If I had an opinion, I'd post it as well. But right now I still can't decide what exactly a classic manager needs to do (dev, public relations, organize staff), and therefor I can't comment on storm nor any possible replacements, if they are needed at all.

All I know is that classic needs to fix a lot of things, and the manager isn't the only problem. Would a tough manager with a drive and vision be a good thing for classic? It's possible.

Until we (the people of classic) can come to an agreement on what we want/need our manager to do, theres no way we can find the best candidate available. Besides, like ranger said, right now the management position is full, and I've only seen one person in this thread that has the power to change that (though I could be wrong).
